    1 Ohm Resistor

    1) They are available dirt cheap in most every electronic component store such as Jameco or your local TV repair shop. 2) No chance of burning anything at all 3) That inductor can not be *that* important. You can even try several wire wound resistors with values between 0.1 to ~2.5 ohms, which...

    1 Ohm Resistor

    It certainly is an inductor. Unfortunately, color band coding for inductors is not very straightforward, so you will have some trouble to determine its value. However it would be safe to say that it is 0.1 or 1 uH. you can try with both values. If you have a second device, you could use an...

    220vac 1p to 110vac 1p

    Sorry for butting in, but although I have no idea about the wiring codes and practices in the North America, the idea of a 110VAC ground connection seemed a bit absurd to me. For me this means that, when the ground wire is somehow shorted to the metallic chassis of an appliance, the user will...

    Delphi & MS Access

    This has always been a problem with MS Access as far as I know. You can store more then 255 characters into a memo field, but if you then try to handle it even in access, then you're out of luck. I know of no resolution, but I'd recommend going to one of the access newsgroups at...

    Pivot Tables "too many row or column items"

    Roughly speaking, the resultant pivot table can have a maximum of 256 columns. This is the max width of an Excel sheet. If your selection criteria results in a wider table, then you'll get this message. If, let's say, you have a worksheet which contains some 1,000 rows and these are transformed...

    Consumer Electronics Refurbisment

    Hi TwnB, It looks like you made an error similar to mine. I understand (after thinking twice) that the 20-30% is related to the returned units, not the manufactured ones. Just because the 70-80% is being returned unopened. Thus, the guys are getting back a total of 100% of what they sell, which...

    Using 12VDC and a car coil to create an ignitor

    Dbrune, have you ever seen a very old type doorbell? that is exactly what you need. It had a coil which magnetically pulled a hammer which hit the bell and almost at the same time, the movement of the hammer caused the electrical continuity between the supply and the coil to be cut off, so that...

    Building Simple LED circuit

    Looking at the FV ratings you have supplied,I would use a 3-cell battery, in series. Connect all the LEDs of a color in parallel, connect red LEDs between common and the the junction between the 2nd and 3rd batteries, white cells between the common and +ve of the third. Perhaps a low value...

    Amplifying sound card output?

    Have you looked around? In most shops that sell electronic gadgets, you must be able to find ready-to-install amplifier modules from 0.1 watt to hundreds of watts. One of them is sure to fulfill your need in terms of size, power, quality, etc.

    Cannot Format Drive C(Harddisk Drive)

    Hi kormechanical3, Your message is very difficult to interpret in detail. I understand that you want to have both Windows ME and Windows 2000 on the same system. I assume that you have already established that both can reside on the same disk peacefully. I see that you need expert advice on...

    Installing a European plug in a room.

    I started to think, how much does a shaver cost nowadays? By the way, * if the shaver works on AC (internally, that is), then it will need the 50Hz. * Frequency conversion would far surpass the price of a new (110/60) shaver. * However, depending on the design, it is possible to adjust some...

    I created MAcro based fiel in excel

    Hi Vlado, What's below is related to XL2000. In other versions, slight changes may be present. Help may be useful to find the actual route. Click Tools -> Macro -> Security. The explanations should be satisfactory to decide on a security level. Good luck, Engin

    Windows Duplicate Files

    There are some freeware/shareware duplicate file removers downloadable from Internet. http://www.winsite.com/ is an example. Usually these utilities remove the dup files, but you may find one which replaces them. Good luck, Engin

    Help lease

    If you mean you actually fried the chips on the control boards installed on the HDD's, stop and take a deep breath. There is a big probability that the data is still readable - as long as you don't play games. First of all, if you don't feel VERY comfortable about changing the control board of...

    Engineer or what?

    Is management a natural result of a number of successful technical years? I doubt. Management needs a different set of capabilities. In the middle level management positions, these capabilities are usually not learned. They are mostly there from the birth. Being a good engineer and proving that...

    Direct parallel cable

    It's sad to see that most people are answering without hearing the question. I assume that - XP supports direct cable connection, - you are going through the steps correctly to establish a connection (it's really hard to do otherwise because it's so simple) Your parallel cable should be a...
